Grepping the -patches archives to see which platforms submitted patches get testing on would also be interesting, but somewhat harder owing to the more free-form nature of the text there.

A lot of people used to develop under Darwin, but unfortunately it tended to break quite often, and it often became very hard to bootstrap without the latest Mac OS X and Xcode. The fact that Apple is not maintaining the port anymore didn't help, as Jack knows. Paolo
